Canada Provides Measures to Encourage Hongkongers migrating, Scholars: Canadian Government Given up to Fawn China
The Canadian government issued a statement, indicated that in response to the push of Hong Kong version of the National Security Law from China, they would provide several convenient measures for Hongkongers to migrate to Canada. The measures include providing working visa to Hong Kong university graduates to facilitate their permanent resident application in the future, and introducing measures to expedite the permanent resident applications to encourage more Hong Kong teenagers to study and to work in Canada. These actions bound to increase tensions in the already bad Canada-China relation. The spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Canada emphasized that the issues of membership of the Hong Kong Legislative Council are purely an internal affair of China. They also urged Canada to abide by international law and basic norms of international relations with an immediate stop of interfering in Hong Kong affairs.
When an Associate Professor of Department of Political Science in the National University of Singapore, Chong Ja Ian, said in an analysis of Apple Daily, this action indicated that Canada has already given up to fawn China. “It will pressure you no matter fawning it or not, so there is no worry at all.” Chong also stated that Canada may still have hopes and attitudes to cooperate with China before, so they hesitated for a while, then introduced these measures after the implementation of “Hong Kong version of National Security Law”. But when Canada saw China’s disagreement with many countries internationally, the Canadian government has given up making concessions. “The problem is, besides of giving in, what can make China happy?”
